Where possible correspondence for MOD Information Rights Team Ground floor, zone D, Main Building, Whitehall, London, SW1A 2HB United Kingdom should be sent by via email to CIO-FOI@mod.gov.uk. We will process requests as quickly as possible, where priorities and resources allow, however there will inevitably be delays in processing some of these requests.
